About Me

I am a wife, a mom and a retired police officer. I have been married for almost 27 years, my husband and I have two wonderful sons that we are very proud of. Our youngest son is now serving a church mission in Rochester New York. I work a few hours a day as a manager at El Cajon Jazzercise . I love to work out, go to the beach, read and make jewelry. I am a native Californian, I hate spiders, my name is Julie and I am a Mormon.

Why I am a Mormon

Even though my family have been members of the church since 1860, I was never active in church while I was growing up. My parents were not active as adults, so the only time I went to church was when we visited with our grandparents. My grandparents were great examples for me and showed me the importance of the church and the Lord. After my sons were born my Grandma told me that my boys needed to be in church. I agreed and we have been going ever since. Not being active in church while I was growing up has been a blessing, because I've had the chance to live without the Lord in my life and I see I'm much happier following the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am a Mormon because I feel my Savior, Jesus Christ's love and following His example has blessed my life in ways I can hardly express. I know that this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

How I live my faith

My family and I go to church every Sunday, but following Jesus' example doesn't stop there. We do our home and visiting teaching each month, help clean our church building, help with neighborhood service projects, attend church choir practice, go to the Temple every Friday and other church activites. My church calling or job is as Activity Days Leader, kind of like girl scouts, with girls 8-11 years old. We meet several times a month and work on things like gospel principles and other uplifting activities. I love working with the youth they keep me young, at least on the inside. I love the members of our ward we have the best ward family ever.

Do Mormons only help Mormons?

We believe that our Father in Heaven loves all his children equally. And Jesus said,"As I have loved you, love one another". Our ward serves non-members in our community in many different ways. We have a weekly assignment at the local food bank, we help plant vegetable gardens for a neighborhood senior center, cleaning out weeds and picking up trash on our roadways for our city.Show moreShow less

The death of a loved one is a sad and hard time in anyones life, but knowing what happens after we die can help heal that sadness we are going through. Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ we will be able to live again in a perfect body with all of our loved ones.
